virus threat: iceoryx2-cli\iox2\tests\noop.exe

[codeXpert0]

Hello everyone,

I have a problem in that I received a virus warning for the file “noop.exe.” Can anyone help me figure out what this is about?
www.virustotal.com also indicates that this executable file may not be safe.

Thank you in advance.

This binary is build of: https://github.com/eclipse-iceoryx/iceoryx2/blob/main/iceoryx2-cli/iox2/tests/noop.cpp

It was a quick-fix to support the testing execution of separate command binaries on windows. I can understand why it would be flagged though.

I have an idea of how to support the test without the need for the pre-compiled noop.exe, which should resolve the issue. Will try to get to it soon.

Fixed! The noop.exe binary has been removed: #1133

Thank you very much for your fast support !!

Why do I need this test anyway? Is it performed automatically, or do I not need it in theory?

@codeXpert0 You probably won't be interacting with it at all unless you are running our test suite for some reason. It is run in our CI to ensure the functionality does not get broken by changes we make to the code.
